Negotiations have accelerated Israeli attacks and Palestinian bloodshed

Barhoum: Negotiations with occupation encourages more Palestinian bloodshed

[ 26/07/2010 - 06:00 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman, said on Monday that any negotiations with the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) would constitute a "serious cover" encouraging more Palestinian bloodshed.

He said in a press release that negotiating with the IOA would provide a cover for Judaization and more colonization of Palestinian land leading to uprooting Palestinians form their land and homes.

The spokesman warned that former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas's acceptance to indulge anew in negotiations with the IOA would pose dangers on national constants and on the Palestinian people's rights, which were wasted and destroyed over the past years of "futile negotiations".

Barhoum said that any cover by any party for such talks would mean a reward for the Israeli government for its crimes and a lifeboat to extract it from its internal and external crises specifically following the Freedom Flotilla massacre.

He held Abbas, the PA in Ramallah and all those providing a cover for such negotiations responsible for consequences of such "serious intrigues".

Abbas told reporters in Amman following a meeting with the Jordanian monarch on Monday that he was ready for new rounds of talks with the IOA.

He said that the PA in Ramallah was not evading negotiations, as the Israelis charged, but set the condition that the talks should be based on clear criteria topped by 1967 borders and a halt to settlement activity.


MP Mansour: Negotiations have accelerated Israeli attacks

[ 26/07/2010 - 06:03 PM ]

ABLUS, (PIC)-- Nablus MP Yasser Mansour warned of the rapid pace of attacks by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, saying that the frequency of these attacks is increasing in wake of security coordination between Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and the militia of Mahmoud Abbas.

During the last such attack on Monday, a group of Israel settlers burned down an area near the Hawara checkpoint south of Nablus city and attacked cars belonging to Palestinians at the checkpoint. At the same time, IOF troops closed down the Hawara checkpoint prohibiting a large amount of cars from passing through, under the pretext that Israeli settlers were at the other side.

MP Mansour stressed that this operation is one of an ongoing series of brutal assaults on the land and holy sites of Palestine. He added: “This attack and others would not be possible without a cover-up from the Israeli Army and under its auspices.”

He stressed that the “Palestinian negotiator” should put a serious halt on negotiations, adding that every time he advances towards negotiations, Israel increases in its racist practices and restrictions on the Palestinian people.

MP Mansour, commenting on Israel’s closing of the Hawara checkpoint over the incident, said that the closing of the checkpoint, “which is the outlet for the northern West Bank, is a programmed operation to strangle our people and disrupt the daily lives of citizens. This move is a clear message to the ‘Palestinian negotiator’ that the real controller and executor in the land is (Israeli) occupation.”
